After some time goes by I leave the science room and start walking towards the storage room outside, if my guess is right then everyone else should have left, and Aito should have gotten beaten up. I keep walking till I reach the stairs, I walk downstairs and see Chiko walking upstairs, we both lay our eyes on each other, he stops moving and looks at me, "have you decided yet?" He asked as I looked at him, "not yet," I said, he stopped looking at me and began to walk upstairs again, he didn't look back, he just kept walking, I tried to shake my head but couldn't because of this neck cast. It's really irritating and I just want to take it off! I start to scratch my skin, it made me feel relieved, I kept on scratching and scratching without a care in the world till the relieved feeling changed.
My neck got hot, it started to itch, it was painful, I wanted to scratch it more, but the more I scratched the more painful it got, it was unbearable, I slowly put my hands in my pocket, I have somewhere to be right now. I walk to the back door and leave, I make it to the field and sneak through the bushes as Akifumi leaves the storage room. His eyes were cold, he was serious, his body movement was like a bull when it gets triggered. There was no way of stopping him, he had made up his mind. When he was a few miles away from the field I got up from the bushes and got closer to the storage, I heard sniffling, someone crying. The entrance to the storage still remained open, I walked inside as Aito watched, I then slid the door closed. I sit in the floor next to him smiling. I take out my phone and head to text to speech, "what are you doing here?" He cried as he wiped the tears off his face, I finished typing and pressed on the speech option. "I'm here to help you," my phone said.
He looked at me confused as his tears rained down on his face, a little bit of snot came down his nose but he quickly wiped it off. "What do you mean? How are you going to help me!" He shouted as he stood up and stomped on the ground. I stood up as well, I typed on my phone then looked at his eyes as my text to speech played. "I know what Akifumi does to you, he beats you sensibly without a care in the world to get what he wants out of you. I can help you get rid of him, all I need is your help, he won't even know that you were the one who back stabbed him."
Tears stopped coming out of Aito face, he was just confused while he kept shaking, I could tell that just me mentioning the name Akifumi kept him scared, I can't blame him, he's been abused both physically and mentally by a single person for 3 years, he couldn't tell anyone about it, he can't fight back because he knows he'll lose, he knows that Akifumi is a predator, he knows that Akifumi gets his way no matter what. That's why he's scared of him.
Since he's scared of Akifumi I'll use that to my advantage, I know that he wants Akifumi gone, he's willing to latch onto any idea of Akifumi leaving the school, that's where I come in, at the same time that's where Aito my second pawn comes in as well. "Why should I believe you! I don't even know you!" He screamed at me as I stood there, he's lying to me, he does know who I am, I need to make sure I get his trust. I grab my neck cast  and quickly take it off without a care in the world. Aito's mouth dropped as he saw my red swollen neck, it had scratch marks from before, it looked like a bright red light shining. "I typed then pressed, "this is why you should trust me." He kept staring at my neck, he then placed his hands on his mouth and turned the other way, he nearly vomited. I continued to type as he turned back and faced me, I then pressed the speech option. "This is the main reason you should trust me, I know you know me, I'm going to die in 2 days if you don't help me, if you don't trust me then I promise that I won't back stab you with my life, how about that?" He listened to my phone, he started to think, "why did you come to me?" He asked, "I came to you because I know what Akifumi does to you, I've noticed it, many others haven't but I have, I know the pain and all of the struggles that you have been going through. I can help you and you can help me, how does that sound?" I asked him as he shook his head, a tear fell from his eyes, "I'm sorry," he said as he got on the floor, "I'm sorry, he made me do it!" He said out loud as he began to cry, "I didn't want to do it, I didn't, but he and the others forced me to do it, I'm sorry!" He started to cry. I typed on my phone and pressed the speech option, "I know, I know what you did, I know what they made you do, it's not too late, you can still redeem yourself, you can atone for your sins, all I need is your help, I need you to trust me. When you can do that, we can both work together, we can both get something that we want." He looked at me with tears in his eyes,
I extended my hand out towards him, he was hesitant at first but then he grabbed it, I pulled him towards me, he stood on his two feet as he cleared the tears from his eyes, "I trust you, I'm still questioning some things, but I trust you so far." He said as I smiled at him, "thank you for having even just a little trust towards me," my phone said after I typed. Even if it's only a little, he still has some trust in me, over time he'll trust me even more, I just need my plan to work! "How will you get rid of Akifumi if I help you?" He asked me as I stood there still smiling, "I'm sorry but your smile is creeping me out." He said, I stopped smiling and looked bummed out, I text then press speech, "You mean how are we going to get rid of Akifumi?" My phone said out loud as he got confused once again. I stood there with my hand facing towards him holding my phone, he put his hand on the bottom of his chin, I then started to type a sentence, I pressed the speech button and out came.
"Of course we will get rid of Akifumi, not just me, it's going to be, me and you... and a few other people," my phone said as he looked at me shocked, "what do you mean a few other people!" He asked out loud in disbelief, I started to touch the back of my nape and smiled at him. "Are there other people in on this as well?" He asked, I shake my head and start to type, "yes there are, it's not just about taking down Akifumi, we're taking down someone bigger you know." My phone said as he looked at me shocked, "someone bigger than Akifumi!?" He yelled out loud, I shushed him, "sorry," he said as he looked at the ground. "Of course someone bigger than Akifumi, I'm talking about our principal, principal Hina!" My phone said as he backed away a few steps.
"Why would you want to take her down? He asked, "why do you think? Who do you think started all of this, who do you think caused all this, who do you think has been abusing their power here at this school. Well principal Hina of course, that's why me and a few other people are trying to get her out of this school. We all have our different reasons for being a part of this plan." My phone said, "what plan?" He asked, I typed, "the plan I came up with to expose principal Hina, this plan will get her fired and locked up for years if we're able to accomplish this." My phone said.
"You haven't told me your plan yet, also what does this have to do with Akifumi?" He asked me as I quickly typed, "I was going to get to that," my phone said, all I need to do is tell Aito about my plan, this will at least increase his trust in me by a lot, If I'm able to make him trust me then the next person I need to get is Chiyo, but before then I need to make Aito trust me, and I'll do that my telling him my plan. I smile and point at him with my phone saying, "this plan will 99 percent get rid of Akifumi and principal Hina, I promise."
